Ok, the reality is is isn’t always the feet BUT, in my humble opinion, we do not spend enough time showing our feet love and attention. Re: what kind of shoes do you wear? Do you spend time spreading your toes, or rolling your feet? Do you move through all ROM in the ankle? Articulate your toes? 🤔
.

Obviously these are just a few simple tips and not the answer to the above problems (or are they?) but I REALLY encourage you to think about your feet as your gate to all movement. Start from the ground up and SHOW THEM LOVE! 💜

I get a lot of weird looks in my classes when I devote time to prepping the feet but this morning I received a message from a client saying that after our class on feet yesterday, she spent just one night spreading her toes with a sock and already feels a difference. Ohhhh the little (but big wins) 😊❤️
and yes, that is bum sweat) .

Had about 15 mins of being annoyed and stressed today. Then had to remind myself there’s no place for stress in my life. I know how to keep it at a minimum or how to keep it at a minimum. So I grabbed my mat and started flowing. I felt my body release the stress with every exhale. So here I am with Day 2 of #bgytribechallenge btw disregard the sweat I was working hard lol 😜

I am so stoked to be working with local brand @myinnerfire again tomorrow! Shooting for incredible local businesses is one of my favourite things, especially when they’re headed up by amazing visionaries like @leahemmott. This shot was taken two years ago on our very first shoot together.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Journalprompt 📓 day 3:
What has been your best accomplishment?
Getting a Degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing “late” in life 😊 Changing careers in what became for me in exactly the right time has been a tremendous accomplishment for me and my overall health. I don’t regret any job in the bank and insurance branch I’ve had before I became a reg.nurse. Every experience has lead me to this place where I am today and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.
Now, instead of trying to find my purpose or thinking I don’t do anything meaningful 40 hrs per week, I go to work and know I make a small difference everyday, one human at a time.
When life has slowed down for me in the future (read; when the kids have moved out) I would want to work more with charity, abroad.

"When we pause,
we take a moment to be with ourselves,
right here,
right now,
in whatever state we're in.
We don't have to do anything.
We don't have to feel any particular way." .

I went for a big change as soon as I finished school. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to go away from my home country and especially my hometown because nothing ever change there.
I come back, 5 years later and everything is still the same. How is it even possible?! There is no deeper thinking or meaning about Life. Just the same old stories created by ego.. Repeating itself all over again.
•
If we look at the Earth with clear eyes we will see no lines, there is no such thing as seperation. No countries. It's one world and we were born into it. We were meant to see it all, the Earth is our playground. Go out there and explore, expand & evolve!!! We are one and wherever you go you are already home. Earth and Universe will support you.
•
I'm thankful that I was brave enough to leave and #change ♡ because I found a beautiful path, and I will never ever go back! There is so much more out there. Life is a crazy amazing journey, but you will never experience the sweet mystery of Life if you stay in the same place.

Ey you, go out there. Explore the unknown.☆

Making shapes with my body. Sacred geometry with body postures, I love this. Yoga is healing for body, mind and spirit.
Headstand Yoga pose is known as king of all asanas due to its multiple health benefits. It speeds up the blood circulation and ensures that brain receives sufficient well oxygenated blood.
Headstand is known as a cooling posture, meaning that it helps you to draw your attention inwards. This posture is extremely helpful if you are having anxiety, stress, fear or otherwise worrisome thoughts. Combine headstand with long, slow breathing and you have a recipe for stress relief and anti depressant.
When you turn upside down, you are increasing the blood flow to your brain. This can help to improve mental function, and increase you sense of focus. Along with helping to reduce fear and worry, this posture will improve your ability to keep your mind sharp and clear.
When you flip over, you will be sending extra oxygen and nutrient rich blood to the head.
Your lymph system can also be called your garbage dump system. This network of nodes and fluids help to remove waste products from your blood. When you flip onto your head you will be directly stimulating your lymphatic system and thereby helping to remove toxins from your body.
And there is sooo much more benefits! There is so many benefits with each and every asana, body posture. This is real healing. Yoga gives a more peaceful, and healthy life 💜 .
